AND NEXT WEEK ANOTHER DEPARTMENT WILL BE INTERVIEWED . CONCERNING OUTSTANDING WRITINGS. W. S. N. S.- A SUGGESTION Miniature Leagues of Nations have been organized in the student groups interested in international relations all the way from Mount Holyoke Collge in Massachusetts to the University of Hawaii... Working sessions of these model "Leagues" have proved to be a great help to the teaching of international procedure by the results of greater satisfaction on the part of the student when he finds himself in the position of a delegate in a multi-national assembly of lawmakers This should be a stimulus to those interested in this sort of thing in the Normal. We have the students here who are interested; all we need is the spark of organization. W. S. N. S. "The ability to sell oneself social-lly and in business is the one outstanding benfit that a student can derive from participation in extracurricular activities. The necessity to mix well with other students in activities in order to accomplish anything in campus affairs is excellent discipline. If I train myself to be an efficient committeeman in a class or student body committee, I train myself to be efficent in service work when I become a citizen of my city, state and nation." —U. of W. Daily. W. S. N. S. Fish Well Received in Picture-Talk on Jungle Experiences "Experiences Near a Jungle Laboratory" was the topic of the illustrated lecture delivered in assembly Friday, April 12, by Professor Harold D. Fish, of the University of Michigan. The jungle laboratory is located at Kartabo, British Guiana. In giving his audience an idea of the surrounding country Professor Fish mentioned the fact that a completely unexplored region exists approximately 2000 miles from New York City. He also emphasized the fact that the Amazon region was the pioneer country of the future and that our descendants would emigrate to South America as our forefathers emigrated to North America. Humorous Vein A humorous vein followed the serious subject matter of the lecture in which he showed appreciation for student life in his brief narrative of his own college career. The pictures accompanying the lecture were unusually interesting. Some of them were made at great expense, owing to the fact that the development of the color films must be done in water at a temperature below that possible in this tropical climate, and in order to do this ice had to be imported to the laboratory from the coast. o DR.

Wood, superintendent of Music in the schools of Oakland, California. Due to his contract with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Karl Krueger, director of the Seattle Symphony was unable to assume his duties as conductor of this splendid orchestra, which met for the first time on Tuesday of last week and was presented in concert Thursday, April 11, a t the Armory in Spokane, after three days of practice together. Four students from Bellingham high schools were members of this orchestra They were Alys Braun and Arlene Neher violinists, Geneva Erholm, flutist, and Clinton Cramer trumpeter. o—— Instructors Attend Seattle Convention Dean James Bever, Mr. Arthur Kolstad, and Miss Olive Gunderson left last Tuesday to attend the seventeenth annual session of the American Association of College Registrars held in Seattle. President C. H. Fisher is attending the meetings on Thursday and Friday. These last two days are devoted to the reorganization of the first two years of college work. The speakers include some of the most noted specialists on junior colleges in the United States. The meetings are being held at the Olympic Hotel and the University of Washington. The special sessions include a boat trip on Lake Washington and several luncheons and banquets. The meeting will close today with the election of officers. o—'-—'• Ford Attends Dealers- < Meet in San Francisco "The Pacific and World Peace," was the keynote of the address delivered by Dr. Frank Milner, of New Zealand, in a special assembly last Tuesday. Dr Frank Milner took a prominent part in the proceedings of the educational meeting at Vancouver, B. C. Dr. Milner, in opening his address, stated that he brought "a message of fraternal greeting to fellow countries bordering on the Pacific." Dr. Milner was born and educated in New Zealand, one of the five dominions of Great Britain which was acquired by England in 1840, and now has a homogeneous population of English speaking people. Dr. Milner spoke concerning the bugaboo of a war on the Pacific. He stated that the situations of "yellow peril", immigration, population pressure and military preparations for territorial aggrandizement were the results of "journalistic imagination" and were not based on fact. Dr. Milner said that he was greatly inspired by his contacts with Dr. David Starr Jordan, one of the foremost educational workers in this country. Under his inspiration and the ideals advanced while in attendance at a convention at Hawaii he has successfully developed the junior high school system in New Zealand Would Abolish War Dr. Milner spoke on the awful-ness of war, its wanton waste of human life and destruction of property. He stated, "The modern weapons of war are a gross perversion of applied science." The next war is rendered an impossibility by the advance of science. In summing up his address he said that we must direct the education of the youth of today in such a manner that the thought of entering into war will be foreign to their nature. Dr. Milner was greatly applauded by an enthusiastic audience. He had an immense vocabulary at his command which easily displayed his broad knowledge of international affairs. His commanding personality and ready wit immediately won the attention of all. o ALL-GIRLS' DANCE Petitions for the Women's League spring informal were posted on the main bulletin board Wednesday and the first one hundred and ten girls signing will be permitted to attend.

Due to the large number of events on the calendar this quarter, the two who will compete,in the finals will be picked directly from the first tryouts instead of having a secondary contest with six contestants. Many are urged to participate, as valuable experience is gained by working in such contests. The ability to get upon your feet and speak without notes with but a short time in which to prepare a topic is worth while. One must be able to think clearly, talk freely, present his ideas logically and have stage presence. The rules of the contest are simple. Tuesday on the main bulletin board a list of topics of current interest will be posted at 8:30 a. m. A competitor selects one of these and gathers material. He then presents this in an oral talk of four or five minutes' duration without the aid of notes. The winners of former contests held this year are: Edith Dyer, Stanley Craft, Raymond Craft and Arthur Cram. These four ..with the two selected from" the preliminary will compete in the finals to be held in assembly. The winner of this contest will have his name engraved on the silver loving cup.

While on leave of absence from Western State Teachers College in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he has been president since 1904, one of the most modern schools of its type in the United States, Dr. Waldo came here in 1922. During his regime here he made various changes in this institution. One of the reforms Dr. Waldo introduced was dancing, hitherto on the taboo list. Waldo field is a memorial to his efforts in getting an athletic field here. "The school has improved very much and your library is very beautiful and artistic. It is one of the three best in the United States, the other two are in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Bowling Green,, Ohio," said Dr. Waldo. Dr. Waldo will return to Western State Teachers College where they are planning the- celebration of their twenty-fifth anniversary. o APRIL 24 IS LAST DAY FOR CONTEST LITTLE SYMPHONY L PROGRAM OF YEAR First Season Proves Successful; Plans Matte tor Five Concerts During Coming Year's Program.

T^Nan Dybdahl Wiik, coloratura soprano, will present a varied program of compositions by Italian, Norwegian and English composers in next Tuesday's assembly, Apr. 23. Some of the highlights of the^pro-gram will be the brilliant aria from "William Tell", by Rossini and a charming group of songs by Ed-vard Grieg. One noted musical critic says: "Nan Dybdahl Wiik is very musical, with, clear and pure intonation, good rhythm and much feeling for artistic expression." She will be accompanied at the piano by Miss Ruth Wohlgamuth. o IT'S HOT AS HADES The conscientious co-ed perspir-ingly approached the close of a long test in Geog. 1. Question 49 demanded the first three words of the text hTe seweet young thing bit her pencil and cogitated on the question for some time, then desperately wrote three words, "Hot as Hell". Startling as the phrase may sound, it is over 66 per cent correct. The text, "North America", by J. Russell Smith, opens with the following sentence: "Hell is hot". The date of tryouts for places on the bill of the Viking Vodvil has been definitely set, Randy Ober-latz announced yesterday, and representatives from the various clubs and organizations of the school will exhibit their wares before the committee in the auditorium next Thursday evening, April 25. The committee is comprised of Miss Hilda Rosene, Mr. Arthur Kolstad, Miss Grace Moore, Miss Helen Do-zier, and Miss Hazel Plympton. In commenting on the manner in which the Vodvil is shaping itself, Mr. Oberlatz declared, "The vodvil is looking good. Almost all of the clubs seem to be interested in the competition for the trophy which was won last year by the Freshman class, and the year before by the girls from Edens Hall. Although we can't divulge the exact number of clubs trying out yet, there is going to be plenty of keen competition for places in the show when the tryouts are held before the judges next Thursday evening. "So far, there are several dancing acts, musical numbers, and dramatic pieces reported in, and it appears that all of the patter-artists and gag-men in the school are going to be in there making a play for a position. "If the tryouts pan out the stuff that it looks as if they will, we are going to have a real show to offer the night before Campus day." The name of the winning club, which is decided the night of the vodvil, is inscribed on the large silver loving cup which is offered as the trophy. o Dr. and Mrs. Irving E. Miller are motoring to Seattle Saturday and will return Sunday night. They will visit their son, Neil who is attending the University of Washington. According to Guy Springsteel, chairman of the School Song Contest committee, the judges for the contest have been selected, as previously announced, and the contest will close on Wednesday, April 24. The contest began early in January, when by the action of the Board of Control it was decided to award a total of seventy dollars in prizes for compositions that might be used either as pep or loyalty songs for the school. Songs Contributed "Since that time," Mr. Springsteel stated this week, "Several excellent songs have been contributed, and as a few more are reported as coming in this week, I believe that the school will be rewarded with some really beautiful pieces. The school songs which have been used in the past although of a fine type, have been plagarized from some of other institutions, and this contest will insure to the Normal a group of songs original both in,words and music, which will help a great deal in the crystalizing of school spirit." o ALL-GIRLS DANCE Plans for W. A. A. Dance, Friday, April 26, are Well Under Way; Evening of fun Promised. A carnival! Fun! Whoopee! and more fun. Plans for the best and peppiest dance of the quarter are well under- way for the all-school girl's dance to be given by the W. A. A., Friday evening, April 26. Joyce Arnold, general chairman, has her committees working hard. Program,' Frieda Massey; orchestra, Mary Beth Parkhurst; decoration, Louisette Bergeron; advertising, Arlene Johanson; tickets, Elaine Williams; carnival, Rose Brooks. If you want to know something about your future, visit the fortune tellers, or perhaps you would like to join- in the real swimming match or see the rare specimen—a green bat. Buy your tickets, for 'one cent each for the side shows, and fifteen cents or two for twenty-five cents general admission. Raid your penny banks and bring your nickels for pink popcorn, candy and "drinks across the line." Wear the most comfortable clothes; those you can have the most fun in. All girls out to join in the merry-making and dancing. o Frank B. Gallanger visited here last Monday, he is now teaching at Bremerton. Gallanger is a Tri- Normal distance champion and two year letterman. • Bellingham's Little Symphony orchestra gave their third and final concert of the season in the First Christian Church on Tuesday, April 16. This is the first season for the orchestra which is conducted by Mr. Harold B. Smith of the Music department. The orchestra, composed of / the thirty-seven of the very best musicians in the' Northwest presented a diversified program which was well attended in both the afternoon and evening. A concert was given in the afternoon for the school children of Bellingham and the evening program was for students and adults. "Unfinished Symphony" The opening number, Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" was an attractive feature of the program. In the second number, Mendles-sohn's Overture "A Midsummer Night's Dream" the tripping fairy music of the violins and the full orchestra were beautiful parts of this lovely composition. "Tales from the Vienna Woods", one of the melodious Strauss waltzes which possess so much color, was one of the most popular number of the concert. The- second movement of "The Suite Primeval," by the American composer Skilton, depicted the dance of Cherokee Indians. These selections are proof of an< American's ability to create a truly descriptive composition. The final number, "Damnation of Faust" showed the exquisite loveliness of the music produced by an orchestra composed of a number of instruments. Strange Is Soloist Miss Edith R. Strange, pianist, who was the soloist for the even-, ing, played Chaminade's "Concert-stuck" Opus 40. This selection showed the beauty of piano solos combined with orchestra music. Miss Strange's interpretation of. Chopin's Waltz in E flat added a great deal to the program. The first season of the orchestra has been a very successful one from the standpoint of the programs given and plans are well under way for the next season Five concerts have been suggested for next year. —o Election Procedure Discussed by Board Discussion of election rules and - the procedure of elections was the principal business of the last regular meeting of the Board of Control, Tuesday afternoon, although no action was taken, pending a special meeting to be held next Monday.

Humorous Vein A humorous vein followed the serious subject matter of the lecture in which he showed appreciation for student life in his brief narrative of his own college career. The pictures accompanying the lecture were unusually interesting. Some of them were made at great expense, owing to the fact that the development of the color films must be done in water at a temperature below that possible in this tropical climate, and in order to do this ice had to be imported to the laboratory from the coast. o DR.

Dr Frank Milner took a prominent part in the proceedings of the educational meeting at Vancouver, B. C. Dr. Milner, in opening his address, stated that he brought "a message of fraternal greeting to fellow countries bordering on the Pacific." Dr. Milner was born and educated in New Zealand, one of the five dominions of Great Britain which was acquired by England in 1840, and now has a homogeneous population of English speaking people. Dr. Milner spoke concerning the bugaboo of a war on the Pacific. He stated that the situations of "yellow peril", immigration, population pressure and military preparations for territorial aggrandizement were the results of "journalistic imagination" and were not based on fact. Dr. Milner said that he was greatly inspired by his contacts with Dr. David Starr Jordan, one of the foremost educational workers in this country. Under his inspiration and the ideals advanced while in attendance at a convention at Hawaii he has successfully developed the junior high school system in New Zealand Would Abolish War Dr. Milner spoke on the awful-ness of war, its wanton waste of human life and destruction of property. He stated, "The modern weapons of war are a gross perversion of applied science." The next war is rendered an impossibility by the advance of science. In summing up his address he said that we must direct the education of the youth of today in such a manner that the thought of entering into war will be foreign to their nature. Dr. Milner was greatly applauded by an enthusiastic audience. He had an immense vocabulary at his command which easily displayed his broad knowledge of international affairs. His commanding personality and ready wit immediately won the attention of all. o ALL-GIRLS' DANCE Petitions for the Women's League spring informal were posted on the main bulletin board Wednesday and the first one hundred and ten girls signing will be permitted to attend.

Many are urged to participate, as valuable experience is gained by working in such contests. The ability to get upon your feet and speak without notes with but a short time in which to prepare a topic is worth while. One must be able to think clearly, talk freely, present his ideas logically and have stage presence. The rules of the contest are simple.

Question 49 demanded the first three words of the text hTe seweet young thing bit her pencil and cogitated on the question for some time, then desperately wrote three words, "Hot as Hell". Startling as the phrase may sound, it is over 66 per cent correct. The text, "North America", by J. Russell Smith, opens with the following sentence: "Hell is hot". The date of tryouts for places on the bill of the Viking Vodvil has been definitely set, Randy Ober-latz announced yesterday, and representatives from the various clubs and organizations of the school will exhibit their wares before the committee in the auditorium next Thursday evening, April 25. The committee is comprised of Miss Hilda Rosene, Mr. Arthur Kolstad, Miss Grace Moore, Miss Helen Do-zier, and Miss Hazel Plympton. In commenting on the manner in which the Vodvil is shaping itself, Mr. Oberlatz declared, "The vodvil is looking good. Almost all of the clubs seem to be interested in the competition for the trophy which was won last year by the Freshman class, and the year before by the girls from Edens Hall. Although we can't divulge the exact number of clubs trying out yet, there is going to be plenty of keen competition for places in the show when the tryouts are held before the judges next Thursday evening. "So far, there are several dancing acts, musical numbers, and dramatic pieces reported in, and it appears that all of the patter-artists and gag-men in the school are going to be in there making a play for a position. "If the tryouts pan out the stuff that it looks as if they will, we are going to have a real show to offer the night before Campus day." The name of the winning club, which is decided the night of the vodvil, is inscribed on the large silver loving cup which is offered as the trophy. o Dr. and Mrs. Irving E. Miller are motoring to Seattle Saturday and will return Sunday night. They will visit their son, Neil who is attending the University of Washington. According to Guy Springsteel, chairman of the School Song Contest committee, the judges for the contest have been selected, as previously announced, and the contest will close on Wednesday, April 24. The contest began early in January, when by the action of the Board of Control it was decided to award a total of seventy dollars in prizes for compositions that might be used either as pep or loyalty songs for the school. Songs Contributed "Since that time," Mr. Springsteel stated this week, "Several excellent songs have been contributed, and as a few more are reported as coming in this week, I believe that the school will be rewarded with some really beautiful pieces. The school songs which have been used in the past although of a fine type, have been plagarized from some of other institutions, and this contest will insure to the Normal a group of songs original both in,words and music, which will help a great deal in the crystalizing of school spirit." o ALL-GIRLS DANCE Plans for W.

This is the first season for the orchestra which is conducted by Mr. Harold B. Smith of the Music department. The orchestra, composed of / the thirty-seven of the very best musicians in the' Northwest presented a diversified program which was well attended in both the afternoon and evening. A concert was given in the afternoon for the school children of Bellingham and the evening program was for students and adults. "Unfinished Symphony" The opening number, Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" was an attractive feature of the program. In the second number, Mendles-sohn's Overture "A Midsummer Night's Dream" the tripping fairy music of the violins and the full orchestra were beautiful parts of this lovely composition. "Tales from the Vienna Woods", one of the melodious Strauss waltzes which possess so much color, was one of the most popular number of the concert. The- second movement of "The Suite Primeval," by the American composer Skilton, depicted the dance of Cherokee Indians. These selections are proof of an< American's ability to create a truly descriptive composition. The final number, "Damnation of Faust" showed the exquisite loveliness of the music produced by an orchestra composed of a number of instruments. Strange Is Soloist Miss Edith R. Strange, pianist, who was the soloist for the even-, ing, played Chaminade's "Concert-stuck" Opus 40. This selection showed the beauty of piano solos combined with orchestra music.
